The Marriage of Figaro

Lawrence K. Ho / Los Angeles Times

Los Angeles Opera's recurring production of "The Marriage of Figaro," directed by Ian Judge, mixes a bit of Franco's Spain with a bit of '50s Hollywood, a bit of vulgar tomfoolery and a few real fireworks at the end. First seen in 2004, the production is on stage again, populated with an international cast.
